The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 97 Guanying Summons
[Serving the country and the people is the greatest hero]

[Obtained Orange Top-Quality Card: Guo Jing]

Congratulations on obtaining: "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" (Realm: Return to Nature)

Although "Crossing the River on a Reed" can take Gu Ping'an's lightness skills to a higher level, the improvement brought by the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" that returns to the original state is even greater.

After Guo Jing mastered the Nine Yin Scriptures, he practiced diligently every day. His palm technique had evolved from being extremely hard to being extremely soft. He achieved the combination of hardness and softness, a realm that even Xiao Feng had not realized.

The other best item is an "item card".

The "Black Silkworm Robe" that helped Di Yun escape from desperate situations many times!
In fact, the gains from this card draw were not small at all, but Gu Ping'an's strength had soared and his standards had become higher, so the rewards from those purple cards were no longer worthy of his attention.

He thought silently, turned off the system screen, and leaned back against the beam.

The day passed quickly and it was dinner time again.

Even if the country's power gradually declined, the emperor's dining requirements would not be neglected. The ingredients, knife skills and cooking time were all top-notch in the world.

Cooked quail, lychee kidney, shrimp trotter sashimi, ginger vinegar snails, oyster stuffed lamb tripe
Plate after plate of rare and common dishes were served like water. The three of them waited until the fire in the kitchen went out, but they still did not see the mandarin duck and five-treasure sashimi that Hong Qigong had mentioned.

Seeing the imperial chefs leaving one by one, Gu Ping'an had no choice but to descend from the beam and press the acupoints of the last three people who had not yet left.

The three men thought that the assassin from last night had returned, but suddenly they could not move or make a sound, and their faces turned pale with fear.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! We don't mean to hurt anyone."

Hong Qigong, supported by Mu Nianci, landed in front of them and comforted them with a smile.

"I, an old beggar, once tasted a dish of mandarin duck and five-treasure sashimi. It was unforgettable for many years. Now I am craving it so much that I can't resist it. I would like to ask for your help."

The imperial chef is not a guard. His job is to cook, not to risk his life.

Hong Qigong hardly had to say anything before several people rushed to agree. After their acupoints were unblocked, they hurried to the table to get busy.

This mandarin duck five-treasure sashimi sounded strange, but after the imperial chef explained it, Gu Ping'an suddenly understood what it was.

The so-called sashimi refers to finely chopped slices of meat eaten raw.

The five delicacies are all made from extremely rare ingredients, including Yangtze River knife fish, Huaihai white fish, scallops, single-head abalone and lamb tenderloin that is only raised for half a year.

Such ingredients can only be gathered and preserved in the imperial palace.

The imperial chef's knife flew in his hand, cutting each item into thin, translucent slices. The lamb spine was placed as the base, and the other four delicacies were arranged in the shape of mandarin ducks on the plate. Finally, they were drizzled with a sauce made of wasabi, rice wine, and soy sauce and vinegar.

This job sounds easy, but it still took the three imperial chefs half an hour to prepare it, which made Hong Qigong very anxious.

When the dishes were ready, he couldn't wait to sit down and hurriedly invited the two to taste them. The three didn't dare to escape, so he simply gave them a few more side dishes.

After a hearty meal, Hong Qigong drank up the remaining wine in the gourd and felt refreshed, as if even the injuries on his body had eased a little.

Gu Ping'an was afraid that Guo Jing and Huang Rong would get anxious waiting, so he waved his hand to let the imperial chef go, then carried him on his back, jumped out of the palace wall, and hurried back to Niujia Village.

It’s interesting to say that they didn’t return for a day and a night, and when they came back, Qu San Tavern was already bustling with activity.

In addition to Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Sha Gu, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan were also there, as well as the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and Yin Zhiping, plus a "good nephew" Lu Guanying.

The center of the universe is the center of the universe after all, and the small Qusan Tavern is packed.

"Young Master Gu, Boss Hong! Are you okay?" Qiu Chuji, who was the most impatient, asked first. Hong Qigong looked bewildered: "What could be the problem?"

He couldn't help but look at Jing Rong and Huang Rong. Huang Rong spread her hands and said, "We told him everything, but Taoist Qiu refused to believe that Brother Gu was a match for the old poisonous creature. He even insisted on going to the palace to rescue you. Brother Jing and I had a hard time stopping him."

When she said this, Qiu Chuji was obviously embarrassed. Gu Ping'an quickly laughed it off to give him a way out.

"By the way, Taoist Qiu, didn't you leave a few days earlier than me? Why didn't I see you in Lin'an City?"

But when he said this, Qiu Chuji's face became even more embarrassed, so Zhu Cong started to explain again.

"We hurried along the way and found Yang Kang's trace in Ezhou. Unfortunately, that guy was very alert and used a clever trick to deceive even me, causing us to go around in circles."

As he spoke, he blinked and curled the corners of his mouth slightly towards Qiu Chuji.

Gu Ping'an suddenly realized that although Yang Kang was insidious, how could he deceive Zhu Cong? It must be that Qiu Chuji was stubborn after being fooled, which was why he came late with a group of people.

Qiu Chuji coughed and changed the subject: "Young Master Gu, do you know where Wanyan Honglie fled to?"

Wanyan Honglie?

Gu Ping'an was stunned again and looked at Huang Rong.

Huang Rong couldn't hide her smile any longer. "We threw his body into the Qiantang River last night. When I asked about it today, Brother Jing said the thief had been eliminated. Qiu didn't believe me and said Brother Jing had learned to lie."

Gu Ping'an was completely speechless. Although he knew that Qiu Chuji had always been stubborn, he had never expected him to be so stubborn. He was even harder to convince than Ke Zhen'e.

Ke Zhenwu witnessed the fighting between Gu Ping'an and Lin the maid in Lingyuan Village, and knew that Gu Ping'an's martial arts skills were no longer what they used to be. In fact, he was already 80% to 90% convinced.

It's just that Qiu Chuji was too stubborn, and there was also Sun Buer who was aggressive on the side. Huang Rong had been arguing with them since they entered the door until now, and she was caught in the middle, feeling very uncomfortable.

Seeing this scene, Hong Qigong suppressed a smile and said, "You don't believe what the little kid said, but an old beggar can't lie to you, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Seven Quanzhen disciples changed, except for Ma Yu who had no doubts in the beginning.

"Boss Hong, do you mean that the traitor Wanyan Honglie has truly been executed?"

"How could that be false? Young Gu fought off the old poisonous creature and personally carried Wanyan Honglie before the old beggar."

Xia Qiu and Sun were really embarrassed. Thinking about what they had said before, they just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Junior Brother Qiu, you have always had this temper. You must not be so reckless in the future."

Ma Yu wanted to help the two of them out, but Qiu Chuji didn't know how to respond, so he just nodded, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Lu Guanying had wanted to speak since he entered the room, but the two sides had been arguing endlessly. Now, seeing an opportunity, he quickly moved closer to Huang Rong and whispered.

When he heard that Huang Yaoshi wanted to kill the six monsters, he wanted to persuade them to flee far away, but when he met them outside the city, he suddenly felt worried about disobeying his master and hesitated to speak.

Fortunately, I have the opportunity to meet Huang Rong today. As the biological daughter of my master, it won’t be considered as disobedience to my master if I let her know.

Huang Rong listened attentively to what he said and suddenly exclaimed.

"What?! My father wants to kill Brother Jing's six masters?!"
